Ring Resizing Gold Replating Stone Setting Clasp & Chain Repair Polishing & Hallmarking

Jewellery Repair Services Explained

Reputable jewellery repair workshops in India offer a comprehensive range of services. Here's what to expect and when to use each service:

Ring Resizing

Making a ring larger (adding metal) or smaller (removing metal and soldering). Most yellow and rose gold rings can be resized 2–3 sizes in either direction. White gold rings need rhodium replating after resizing. Cost: ₹200–₹1,500.

Rhodium Plating

White gold jewellery is plated with rhodium to give it that bright, mirror-white finish. The plating wears off over time (6 months to 2 years). Replating restores the original appearance. Cost: ₹400–₹2,000.

Stone Setting & Re-setting

Loose stones are tightened (prong tightening), or stones that have fallen out are replaced in their settings. Also covers upgrading settings (e.g., prong to bezel). Cost: ₹300–₹3,000+ depending on stone.

Clasp & Chain Repair

Replacing worn lobster clasps, fixing broken links, reattaching charms, and restringing pearl or bead necklaces. Cost: ₹100–₹800.

Polishing & Cleaning

Ultrasonic cleaning removes grime and oils; polishing restores shine to gold and silver. Matte/brushed finishes can also be restored. Cost: ₹150–₹600.

Hallmarking

If your old jewellery lacks a BIS hallmark, many certified workshops can arrange hallmarking under the HUID scheme. Cost: ₹35 per item (BIS fee) + workshop charges.

What to Do Before Giving Jewellery for Repair

Photograph Everything

Take detailed photos of the jewellery from multiple angles before handing it over. This protects you if stones go missing or damage occurs during repair.

Get the Weight Noted on the Receipt

Insist that the workshop weighs your piece and records the exact weight (in grams) on the job receipt. Compare weight before and after — legitimate workshops do not short-change metal.

Get a Written Estimate

Any repair above ₹500 should come with a written cost estimate. Understand what's included (labour, any replacement metal, new stones if needed).

Ask About Turnaround Time

Simple repairs (clasp, polishing) take 1–3 days. Complex work (resizing, stone setting, full restoration) can take 7–21 days. Get a confirmed collection date in writing.

Clarify Stone Replacement Policy

If stones are set to be replaced, confirm whether you supply the stone or the workshop provides it. Ask to see the replacement stone before it is set.

Frequently Asked Questions

It depends on the type of repair. Simple jobs like polishing, clasp replacement or prong tightening are often done same-day or within 24 hours. Ring resizing typically takes 2–4 days. Stone setting and complex work takes 5–10 days. Antique restoration or custom metalwork can take 2–6 weeks. Always ask for a specific collection date when you drop off the piece.
Most damage to gold jewellery is repairable. Broken chains, cracked shanks, missing prongs, and loose clasps are routine repairs. However, very thin or old gold that has been repaired multiple times can become brittle, making further repair risky. Heavily worn pieces may need to be recast rather than repaired — this involves melting the old metal and making a new piece, which is more expensive (₹3,000–₹15,000+).
No. Rhodium plating is a surface treatment that wears away with regular use, typically within 6 months to 2 years depending on how often you wear the piece and what activities you do while wearing it. Areas that rub against skin (the inside of ring bands) wear fastest. Replating is inexpensive (₹400–₹1,500) and most jewellers offer it. Some people choose yellow gold or platinum for pieces they wear daily to avoid ongoing replating.
Yes. Old jewellery made before BIS hallmarking became mandatory can be hallmarked at BIS-authorised assaying and hallmarking centres. The process involves testing the metal, assigning an HUID (Hallmark Unique Identification) number and stamping the piece. The BIS fee is ₹35 per item. Many jewellery repair workshops work with authorised centres and can facilitate this. Note: jewellery that does not meet the declared karat purity cannot be hallmarked at that purity — it would need to be upgraded or accurately declared at its actual purity.
